pleasure we announce the safe return of
Rev. DR.. Tuttle. After an absence of
many months, looking hale and unusually
cheerful, he greets us all again. Sunday
evening last the Sunday school of the
Church of the Redeemer extended to him a
welcome concert. Mr.. Stockwell gave an
address of welcome, which was affection
ately responded to by the Doctor. To
one standing without the circle, and
viewing the exchange of greetings be-
tween the Doctor and his parish, it seems
like the return of father to his family.
The Second and Third parishes extend
hearty greeting. Long life to DR.. Tuttlei
The Second church gave a fair last
week which was quite successful. Some
unique features characterized it. The
dramatic entertainments given each even
ing were we'll spoken of by the press of
the city. The Third church has had its
annual meeting. The trustee board
elected is composed of the same gentle
man except two. Mr.. @. W. Lindman
was elected Treasurer. Mr.. Geo. T. Elan
ders as one of the trustees. The Sunday.
school is also in good working condition.
Mr.. J. T. Baker, @. E., is still the Su-
perintendent. May IL, the society gave a
very fine concert under the direction of
Prof. Whitmore. the chorister.
The State.
The State Convention which convenes
June 8. is now the chief topic OF interest.
Last Monday the clergy of Minneapolis
met and arranged very interesting pro-
gram. We all extend cordial welcome
to the Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT to be
present. The Sunday school Convention
opens at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
June 8, and will you allow the President
of that body to urge upon all the Sun
day-schools of the State to send repre-
sentatives. Will the delegates to the
State Convention come Monday, so as to
be present during the sessions of the
Sunday school Convention? The work of
the Sunday is very much under
rated and many cause languishes be-
cause OF that. Come early and help us
make this the best Convention ever held
in Minnesota.
Rev. w. ii. Harrington has been en-
gagged to hold services every Sunday at
Excelsior for the year commencing May
1, 1887 to May l, 1888. He proposes to
preach in his own church by fall. The
cause under his fostering care is growing
stronger.
Rev. w. s. Vail is meeting with excel
lent success at st. Paul. His energy and
enthusiasm are proving equal to the oc-
casion. His congregations are steadily
increasing and healthy growth is every
where manifest. The church building is
now undergoing repairs, and will be oc-
cupied, vestry and auditorium, by our
people. Among the more encouraging
indications is the coming into our work
OF number OF the most representative
men Of the city, men who heretofore
have had nothing to do with our church
or society.
Rev. Mr.. Reid, lately Congregational
minister of Anoka. having resigned his
passionate in that city, applied for fell
lowship to our Committee. He was
secured and is now pastor elect of
the First Universalist church of Anoka.
1t is said that number of his former
followers have identified themselves with
our church.
Personal
Rev. W. 81. Harrington is confined to
his home. His physician warns him
that only with care can he regain his
usual health.
Mr.. Morgan and wife of Br. Powers's
church, have gone to Diamond Valley,
Cal.
Rev. Mr.. Orelup preached at Lang
don, Sunday, May Is.
Robert Blaisdell met with severe
accident, breaking four Of his ribs. He is
now out of danger.
Geo. w. Libby is suffering at his
cottage at Breezy Point, Minnetonka,
not being able to come to his home.
%. P. Hazeltine is not now enjoying
HE usual good health but he expects to
be well soon. Too close application to
his large business interests ia the cause
OF his present indisposition.
-Br. Lee, also of the Third church, fell
from scaffold, distance of twenty feet
striking upon his shoulders. He is now
able to sit up. His escape alive is regard
ed marvellous.
